Are you aware that someone has it worse than you do?

Unity through diversity - Join hands to help others

  Yes, I am fully aware that someone has it worse than me. I think about it daily. I think about it especially during winter. This is compounded by the fact that our media frequently report on the plight of those persons in or communities and country that has it worse that I (we) do.

Then what? Do we simply just feel sorry for that moment and then continue watch the rest of the news and or change the channel to something less emotive, just so that you can lull yourself into forgetting and pretending that the situation doesn’t exist. Yes. Because I am still guilty of doing it, and unless you’re actually doing something to help those in need, you’re as guilty, as are many South African’s. 

To be able make a change in some one less fortunate’s life, there are so many agencies who do a lot of good in communities where there is a dire need for aid e.g. The Red Cross, Salvation Army, the Gift of the Givers or even your local church, mosque, place of worship. So to be honest there is never any excuse not to be able to help and in doing so no need to feel guilty. You can help and you can start now.
